The Board carefully went over all the correspondence that had 
been carried on with members of the World's Fair at St. Louis and 
discussed in a general way the plan of an exhibit for Arizona at the 
Fair and mapped out in a general way the general course to be fol- 
low'ed in preparing an exhibit of the resources of this Territory, after 
which they adjourned to ^lay 13. 1902. the date set for opening bids 
for the sale of the bonds. 

On May 13th the Board met with all members present except 



I'resident Barnes, who was unavoidably detained in I'reseott on legal 
business. Bids for the bonds were opened and it was found that 
there were eight bids, the highest of which appeared to l)e the bid of 
the Bank of Bisbee, which was 107, or $32,100 for the $30,000 of 
bonds to be issued under Act No. 86 of the Twenty-first Legislative 
Assembly. The bid of the Bank of Bisbee was, therefore, accepted 
an'd the sale of the bonds awarded to that bank.

April 9, 1902, having been received, the President and Secretary were 
instructed to again make a formal demand upon the Treasurer to
